Ultradog Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ya know, This has to be the worst forum software I have ever seen. I belong to about 10 different forums on one topic or another and this is the worst. I post a lot. I can definately find my way around forums. I can deal with changes and upgrades. I can deal with complete new interfaces. But here? Sheesh! I like to post photos. I post photos everywhere. Here you can't post links without getting error messages. You can't can't hotlink photos from another site. My photos are too big to be hosted from here. Error! Posting a link is confusing as hell - more error messages. Who does the nuts and bolts behind this board? I wish I could talk to them. I have mentioned this before how the traffic here has all but dried up. Is that RT's intent? To get out of the forum business? This place used to have a lot of posts. I've never posted that much here but enjoyed reading what others said. Are there any other hunting boards as good as this one USED TO BE? Can someone pm me a link? Sorry for the rant. Maybe one of the mods will see fit to pass it up to management. Get your act together RT! Done now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thought they had it fixed this morning but still getting error messages too WAY more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogwild63 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I hadn't been on in a while so I thought it just dead like a few others I used to frequent. I was going to add another choice on my poll for 'I could care less' LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Cant argue with ya Ultra..This used to be the place to be, it sure has taken a change each time, and not for the better. Still, some great people here, miss a lot of the old timers that used to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I noticed the other day that I could not create a new post here so I contacted Scott on FB. He in turn contacted Clint or "Gray Loon" who now is in charge of the forums. They cleared out a cache of something or another and now we are somewhat good to go. It's a shame that our admins don't even come around to check on us. I hope they get this cleared up but I still believe we become have the red-headed step child of Realtree. Of all the forums I have belonged to, Realtree seems to love upgrades the most. It has been those constant upgrades that have been a cancer. I have belonged to one other forum longer that than this one and it's the SASS Wire. They have upgraded twice since 2002. Here on Realtree however we have had how many??? I think at least six by my count and the last two have caused a mass exodus of members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 LOL if your looking for an argument you won't find one here. I agree 100%. I belong to 4 or 5 other forums and an issue with them is a) very rare, and b) taken care of very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at least six by my count and the last two have caused a mass exodus of members. I lost count of how many upgrades we've had here since 2002. Most were truly upgrades but this one...NOT. I believe we've had more of an exodus of members due to this one. Didn't notice past upgrades cause an exodus before like this. Don't know if anyone else is still having this problem but ever since the upgrade, it's difficult to change, add to, or modify your text. If I go back into the body of what I've typed to change/add anything it kicks me to the end. That's been happening ever since the upgrade...one problem that's never been fixed. Error messages have been coming and going in the past until recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I can't argue with you either. I must say my favourite format of these forums was when I first joined in 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Mods here have nothing whatsover to do with the issues with these forums. Yeah loads of issues, pms do not work, pic posting issues, posts may or may not go through, the list goes on...... Scott Hughes is the rt administrator and Clint Davis is the forum admin. [email protected] [email protected] I have sent several emails in the past couple years about problems with the "upgrades" I have pretty well given up!!! Maybe enough members contact them something might get done, dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Couldn't agree more. I loved this forum when I joined in 2008. I learned a lot from members. But most of them have run off. Can we blame them? I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's laughable how bad the mobile app is. Unfortunately the lack of effort has given me a poor view of Realtree in general. It's tough to support a company when a division of them pisses you off so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well it's free for us, not sure why we needed all the changes, it sure has turned many off. Still I'm a REAL TREE guy 100% This did not even post last time,have had many post go missing since the last change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Error messages have been coming and going in the past until recently. Yes, this is frustrating Al and it is not just you. Thought when I first had that issue it was just my computer, but it was only happening here on the forums and was happening with both my ;aptop and later discovered it was also with the desktop so it was not just my computer that was the problem. I cannot even fix my above mistakes here within this post, keeps kicking me to the end. The mobile app will let me fix them with my phone though. But so much with the app does not work right if at all either. Still prefer my rt camo over others too, but that is besides the point. So much was done to promote the rt site in the early days. The rt outdoors show ran ads promoting the site and the forums at one time. Then there was the involvement by rt people in this site and the promos like the lucky logo game. Yeah, now it seems this place is somewhat abandoned aside from the "upgrades" that don't get finished. Real shame as this was the best hunting site on the internet, with great members still here could be again but not with all the software problems keeping folks away.

Florida Cracker Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hello all. I just joined this forum and I thought being a computer retard was the cause of my issues. It appears that for the first time it wasn't of my doing. I emailed support when I first joined a few days ago and I've heard nothing. If ya'll have another forum to suggest please do.

Rhino Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Easy to get out of the habit of coming here when I can only answer a few of the threads and can't post new threads. Tried again this morning to start a new thread in the deer hunting forum & still get an error message. :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yup Hog, when I joined, one could see who was looking at what, you knew just who was in what room looking at what particular thread. It was alot more fun, because you could interact with them almost instantly. This site really does suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Posted email addresses in a reply above for Scott and Clint. Maybe a few members shoot them emails they may check into things. Here http://forums.realtree.com/forum/miscellaneous/lounge/2030011-forums-upgrade was a thread from last year with issues, some got fixed, but some to my knowledge are still not corrected.

Adjam5 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I have to agree. The upgrades and "Change" made navigating around this BB quite troublesome. Still does. The barn door was left open one too many times with the upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 LOL you know it's bad when the most popular thread in the last month is one complaining about the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hey Folks, We've had some major struggles with the forums over the past year, and we know it's been frustrating. Here are the major issues we've been dealing with: Mobile App. We're completely dependent on vBulletin to update the mobile app. We (along with other forums admins) have complained about issues with the app. Unfortunately, they haven't been very responsive. I would highly suggest Tapatalk instead. It seems to be much more dependable. Or, you can access the forums in our mobile browser. Missing Photos. During a major upgrade last year, there was an issue that caused the forums to basically "forget" many photos and albums. We worked with support, but there was no feasible way to get everything back to normal. Uploading. I've heard of a few issues people had uploading pictures. I've tested the upload functionality in recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer with no issues. If you experience an issue, please provide the OS, browser, photo type, and photo size when sending a report. We've run into more and more issues on the current hosting platform. We have a new hosting platform in place, and we'll be scheduling a forums move in the coming weeks. This should offer a more reliable experience and allow us to troubleshoot issues faster. Stay tuned for updates. If you're having an issue that's not listed above, please post it here. We'll try to address those in a timely manner.
